Subject says it all. I used too hard and my rubber stopper is now at the bottom of about 3 gallons of wine snide my 5 gallon carboy. I don't cate about saving the wine, or the stopper, but I do very much care about saving my carboy. Any easy way to get this stopper out?
 
I had this problem once and got it out successfully. I don't recall where I read this method (probably here somewhere!), but what you do is stuff a plastic bag, like wal-mart grocery bag, down in the carboy and maneuver the stopper into the bag then pull the whole thing out. I imagine if the bag tore then just try again with a thicker bag or maybe double bag it. Good luck!
